August Debouzy launches its legal offering dedicated to crypto-assets and blockchain technology, in response to tightening regulations and growing institutional adoption.
Actively engaged in these areas for many years, our firm was one of the first French business law firms to develop structured, multidisciplinary expertise in crypto-assets and blockchain as early as 2018. Today, it supports a broad range of stakeholders -financial institutions, institutional investors, pure players, and innovative companies - at every stage of their crypto-asset and blockchain projects.
Our offering brings together a multidisciplinary team with expertise across the full legal and regulatory spectrum: regulatory approvals and governance (MiCA, DLT Pilot Regime, PSP, EME, etc.), AML/CFT compliance and KYC/KYT frameworks, regulatory investigations and litigation (AMF, ACPR), corporate and transactional matters (security token offerings, token fundraising, M&A, structuring of Bitcoin Treasury Companies), stablecoin issuance (EMT/ART) and financial instrument tokenization, taxation of digital assets, intellectual property and protection of technological innovations, operational resilience and cybersecurity (DORA, NIS2, CRA), DeFi protocol structuring, as well as dispute resolution and crisis management (fraud, cyberattacks, on-chain tracing, cross-border seizures).
Our team draws its strength from the complementary experience and expertise of its members: Mahasti Razavi (Tech & Digital), Philippe Lorentz (Crypto-Asset Taxation), Emmanuelle Mignon (Regulatory), Louis Degeorges (Banking and Financial Regulation), Pierre-Olivier Ally, whose hands-on experience as Chief IP Counsel at a crypto company directly shapes and enriches his current practice, Maxime Legourd (Corporate and Digital Asset Structuring), Candice Dupin (IP Licensing and Litigation), and Benjamin Fontani, specializing in the regulatory and operational structuring of Web3 and tokenization projects.
